Here I had to set the grid size (View->grid size) from the default 0.1in to 0.05in because it depends on which pin (which seems to change) Fritzing decides is on the grid.
There is a workaround again, although it is somewhat ugly. The breadboard is always the bottom most layer (and I expect something will break if that changes!), so in effect you can’t move the part lower than the breadboard and thus can’t connect wires to the breadboard in this particular case (because of the layout of the part.) In this case that means you can’t directly connect wires to the breadboard with the part in place. In this case that includes the empty space to the edge of the GPIO connector and covers the entire breadboard. What is happening is the bounding box of the part (the grey area when it is selected) is considered the part. Unfortunately I don’t think it is fixable.
The GPIO on the tcobbler looks to be 0.05in offset from the pins that connect to the breadboard which will be part of the problem here as we see in this screen shot: I can’t make it do that even with align to grid off though so there may need to be parts changes. As well the tcobbler is not connected to the RPI, it is possible the tcobbler has the pins set to male in which case it won’t connect, I’ll check that when I look over the part, or you may need to turn off Align to grid (View->Align to grid) and then move the rpi til the GPIO connectors go green. Another couple of things to note, the Tcobbler is currently not connected to the breadboard (the connections are red indicating no connection) so you need to move it in x until the connections go green as in my screen shot.
Here I started the wire at the header end of the connection and it successfully connects to the breadboard, the left wire is how I started, drag the unconnected end to the breadboard and it will connect.
